What a fun day! That dessert sounds kind of similar to asure, which is I believe a Turkish dessert. Mmm.. dessert. :rollseyes_ani:

S: dill pickle cashews, kumquats

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but what makes dill pickle cashews taste like dill pickles? are they good? I love dill, dill pickles and dill pickle-flavored things. heh. I've also never tried a kumquat. Ohh how I love having exciting new plants to nosh on. :D

It's a light powder/seasoning they are roasted with that has the flavor. They are Target's Archer Farm Brand. Oh. and kumquats are great too. Rub them a bit to release some of the juice, then eat them skin and all.

Thank you. :)

Yeah it's a dessert for when babies first get their teeth in. A neighbour's baby just got her first tooth, so they passed around little bowls of the dessert to all the neighbours and family members. And then it's the culture for the dessert receiever to buy a gift for the new baby. It's a cute tradition. And it's often normally vegan, as the candies used are sugar sprinkles or candied almonds.

We don't have hardly any fresh fruit and veg until pay day so a fairly unhealthy day today:

5 slices of wholemeal toast with pure and marmite,
Cup of green tea,
Too many chocolate biscuits,
Packet of onion ring crisps,
Veggie sausage sandwich with ketchup,
I bought some tomato flavoured tortilla wraps but when I checked them one of the E numbers wasn't vegan so I just had stir-fried kidney beans and yellow pepper, with lots of tomatoes and lettuce with chilli mayo and this Caribbean hot pepper sauce which nearly burnt my mouth off, it was lovely!:D

I'm now going to drink lots and lots of water.:thumbsup:

Encona Caribbean West Indian Original Hot Pepper sauce. I had never tried it until today. (Someone will probably tell me it's not vegan now.):rollseyes_ani:
